you were lied to.

your sense of smell influences what you perceive as taste.

if all you can find is a popsci link it's almost definitely fake news

this, link the research article.

ffs Op, that took me like 30 seconds to find.

>>9052889
Maybe.
What kind of singularity are you hoping for?

>>9052915

One where I can upload my mind into the internet/an android body and not have to live as myself in reality anymore.

>>9052889
Hah? You're saying if the singularity doesn't happen, we should kill ourselves?

>>9052202
Civil's cool, because you get to travel to see stuff you've designed.
Electrical's cool, because the math is more versatile.

go back to your mud hut village and grow rice. We have plenty of engineers in America already and we don't need more.

>Do you like it?
>Do you see yourself doing this thing for 8 hours straight without this stressing you?
>Are the financial prospects of that career enough to support your tastes and status?

If so then pick it.

Medical, prolong life so we have more time to contemplate the other problems.

>space travel

How is traveling through an empty void more important than saving lives?

>>9051849

> How is conquering the universe and preserving the long term survival of our species more important than adding a year or two of being a stinky old person to everyones life.

>There is an infinite series of infinities
yes

no

could you describe how you would construct them?
if it's already been done, link me

Fuck off.

Science hasn't really been put in the hands of the masses, but the vectors for transferring that information has been radically multiplied. Real science is still being done, it's just that idiots voice their opinions on it.

>>9051325
There's plenty of funding for scientists. Our failure as a society to be scientific is mostly just a failure to actually listen to the scientists we have.

We don't need any more scientists, and we could easily cut science funding by 90% and still be better off if we just fucking paid attention and listened to the remaining 10% of scientists who still had jobs after the cut.

directly, through a telescope

>>9051253
only way right here

OP viewed the 2012 transit of Venus using a small mirror that he taped all up except a small square area about 0.5cm on a side. He reflected sunlight onto the side of his house, and was able to watch a little black dot walk across the sun. In effect I made a huge camera obscura.

I ain't gonna be around a building this year, so I need a different method.

Please share how you are going to view the eclipse, from shoe boxes to state-of-the-art telescopes.

1=1
1-1=0
-1(1+(-1))=0
-1*1+(-1)(-1)=0
-1+(-1)(-1)=0
(-1)(-1)=1

You're supposed to prove it for arbitrary x, not for 1

Ignore the Asian bitch in white panties in the ad at the bottom of the page, and you should be fine.

Anon that's the spooky /x/ thing. She doesn't turn me on. She. Doesn't. Make me. Horny.

I feel horny out of nothing. Constantly. And not the curious love fantasizing horny like a 12 year old. The oh god something is wrong with my dick, hormones and chemical compounds in my body kind of horny.

I'm a little busy making IQ threads at the moment.

Why?

>>9047598
Just seeing if it's reflector deployed properly

>>9047593
when do the reflectors deploy?

gee there sure was a lot of math in the last thread

Can we have one /mg/ without animeposting, depression and butthurt spergs?

My favorite theorem is Lagrange's Four Squares theorem. What's your favorite number theorem in number theory, anons?

>Lagrange's Four Squares theorem
There's some recent conjectural generalizations:
every natural [math] n [/math] can be written [math] n=x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2 [/math] with [math] x+3y+5z [/math] a square
every natural [math] n [/math] can be written [math] n=x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2 [/math] with [math] x [/math] and [math] x+24y [/math] squares (true up to 10^10)

Kind of surprising finding such structure inside the solutions imo

I admire everyone who can

If you can't study with music on, we understand, don't worry, nobody will mock you for being a brainlet.

>he doesn't study whilst listening to slow, ambient piano music

hmm good question i'll answer it another time

(continued)
If the Big Bang theory claims not only a mysterious force capable of completely overwhelming massive gravity, but also that we're essentially at the center of the universe, doesn't Occam's Razor lead us to believe that perhaps there is a mysterious, non-recessional-velocity cause for the loss of light energy observed in spectral signatures of distant stars?

(continued)
To be clear, I'm concerned that something other than recessional velocity, e.g. the effect of gravity on photons, over long stretches of space may be the actual cause of the redshift (hence approximate proportionality to distance).
